Vietnamese coriander

[goodlife]

I've been growing this herb for some years now and adore its strong flavour. I was searching to read about it more..about its uses and came across this: "Traditionally, in Vietnam Persicaria odorata is believed to repress sexual urges. There is a saying in Vietnamese, "rau răm, giá sống" ("Vietnamese coriander, raw bean sprouts") meaning that Vietnamese coriander has the ability to reduce sexual desires, while bean sprouts have the opposite effect. Many Buddhist monks grow coriander in their private gardens and eat it frequently as a helpful step in their celibate life."

so ladies...when you want to have 'night/day off'...it is time for light lunch..and for OH it is served with generous helping of Vietnamese coriander as extra

I love to learn about medicinal uses of the plants, but usually they are recommended to help other way round..
